2 Days Leadership trng campI hope that the Internet connections for other Singaporeans will come back on soon, due to the Taiwan earthquake. Life without the Internet is bad. I just read the newspaper this morning and goodness, traders and people who invest in the market are losing money because they cannot get in touch with their traders. It's millions and billions of dollars that they are losing. So, hopefully by the time the connection gets back, they won't lose that much.

Oh and from today's training, Melvyn said something that I felt it was cute and good! It is " yayapapaya!". Sounds funny, and good right? Haha! So, this is going to be my new funny word ;D
Anyways, the 2 day leadership training camp with Lifeskills Enrichment had just ended. For the past 2 days, I've learnt quite a bunch. Trust is one certain and a must factor to have amongst us, among the Board. To me, each and every one of us do trust one another. Confidence too.
We were taught the
S.M.A.R.T way to set our goals.
Specific
Measurable-------- Able to see the difference after you've achieved your goals.
Achievable---------- (about the same as R)
Realistic------------ Do not set goals that you need to
jump for, but do not set goals too low too. Set it just right.
Time-line---------- Giving yourself a time frame that you think you can achieve the goals.
During Panache focus group discussion, it dawned upon me that I don't really have the panache, the confidence to carry out my duties, specifically duty as a class prefect while taking a senior class. Almost all the points that each of us shared, almost all were reflected on me.
This happened at the beginnng of this year when I took 4C2. Well, it really was a good experience to learn from, but during the process it was tough. The ultimate tough nut to crack because well, there were quite a number of disobeying students :/ Honestly, sometimes I just felt like crying, felt like giving up because I couldn't handle them, couldn't get them to listen to me no matter how hard I tried. What I felt at that time was lousy and I felt that I was incompetent, seriously. I'm really grateful to Cheryl for being there to give me the encouragement & advice :-)
And what Melvyn said today really triggered me to think. It's about confidence, why we lose confidence, why we lose the drive in us sometimes. He said, we must always think of who we are doing it for, where do we come from whenever confidence is tested in us. Because it is for the passion for serving the school, from PLPB, with God putting us here with a purpose. I do agree.
Despite not being from a Christian family background, but for the past 13 years in PL, I am very much brought closer into the Christian family, with Lord Jesus Christ. I always remember what PLPB (primary), Ms Lee said that we were in for a purpose, in my class Ms Judy Yeo said that the reason why we were in PL, was because God has a plan for us, a purpose for us to be in this school and I've always believed in that. Yes :-)
Besides, for today we also learnt about the DISC profiling. I've done this personality profiling before by Trailblazers and yes, I'm a Pure C (or) in other words a High C. No doubt it's true and the demostration given by Melvyn on " How does each personality would learn swimming" is really hilarious. And for C, he said that we would go and read all the books available (ie. Swimming for Dummies) and then we will learn all the facts right and that's how we learn it. I nearly died of laughing! P.S. I didn't equip myself with my swimming skills this way ;D But after listening to his explanation, I felt that I have some S charcateristics in me too. Again, I only did the survey once and it stated: High C :-)
Ohoh! & we were called PANDEMONIUM, and we were spilted up into 4 different tribles (Spitfire, Coudsveil, Atlantis and Sandstorm). I'm a Spitfire-er! Wheee~ Our flag rocks! What a pity I don't have a camera to capture the beautiful piece of art. (lol) Trible members were fantastic and this camp, is my 3rd camp tgt with Lina. Haha, we have a lot of fate uh.
& during today's ice breakers we played this game where everyone has to sit down on a chair with each person facing at their right side, legs closed. Then everyone had to lie down on one another's tummy. (the funny part was the ticklish feeling, and some people kept laughing like Doreen, Zi Qi, Charlene Poh) Slowly and steadily, the sec 3s remove the chairs and boy! the structure is really fantastic! ;D We did it! Whooo~ (trusting one another)

'm going to miss Amath tuition tmrw (awwww), but but I'm going to go for the Saturday class! Sec 1 Orientation meeting & Board meeting tomorrow. So, tonight, I got to sleep as early as I can to recharge and be energised for a brand new day's challenge ;D
